As UN Guterres Lusting For 2d Term Bans Press Bangkok Post Op-Ed Says No & Names Others

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

UN GATE, Jan 24 – The moves by Antonio Guterres to try to get five more years in the UN Mansion on Sutton Place by further selling out human rights, banning the Press which asks questions about genocide in Cameroon, peacekeepers' rapes and Chinese bribes at the UN continue.

 Now an op-ed in the Bangkok Post says "António Guterres does not deserve a second term... his tenure as the world's top diplomat has been disappointing, marked by failures to address human rights abuses, initiate fundamental institutional reforms, or champion multilateralism... There is no shortage of qualified candidates, including former New Zealand prime minister and former UN Development Programme Administrator Helen Clark, the former Director-General of Unesco Irina Bokova and Kristalina Georgieva" of the IMF. Inner City Press says: and there are even more candidates better than Guterres. We'll have more on this. The op-ed is by Mark S Cogan, Associate Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies, Kansai Gaidai University.

Inner City Press on January 19 and 20 in writing asked Guterres and his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming about his and the UN's connection to the criminal complaint filed against Professor Afrasiabi using Iran's UN Mission and the UN Federal Credit Union - no answer at all. Ban of Press hits 936 days.

So will Gumbo Diplomacy of Linda Thomas-Greenfield and Antony Blinken result, as it should, in the replacement of Guterres by a candidate who will end censorship and mediocrity? Watch this site.
